Adobe Connect at UTC

Adobe Connect is a software-based online meeting environment where users can conduct
classes or have meetings and be able to share video, audio and content in real-time.
Adobe Connect is a platform ideal for hybrid classes where a class may meet every
3 class periods virtually in place of face-to-face meetings or only a few times over
the course of the semester. It is also very useful for individuals who want to get
instant feedback from instructors and collaboration from peers without having to leave
the comfort of their own home. Adobe Connect operates via Flash, which is present
on over 90% of computers worldwide.

How does it work?

Adobe Connect is simply an online meeting space, accessible from a unique URL, that
you enter at a specific class meeting time. All you need to participate in an Adobe
Connect meeting is a computer or device, a webcam, a microphone and a high-speed internet
connection (dial-up not recommended). It is recommended that users always share audio
via a computer headset, to reduce the chances of feedback.

How can I get more information?

Adobe Connect is currently available only for trial or test periods. In the future,
it is hopeful that Adobe Connect will be a larger part of UTC Learn.
